#1429: Group FaceTime delayed, System Preferences window secrets, iOS Safari tip, Sinemia and other alternatives to MoviePass

In breaking news, Apple has delayed the promised Group FaceTime feature in iOS 12 and macOS 10.14 Mojave until “later this fall.” If you’ve ever needed to load the desktop version of a mobile Web site on your iPhone or disable your content blocker to get a page to work properly, Adam Engst’s TipBITS article will help. Sharon Zardetto takes a deep dive into the System Preferences window, sharing tips for arranging the preference panes alphabetically, opening them more quickly, and even hiding unused panes. Finally, Jeff Porten explores the movie subscription service Sinemia and other alternatives to the troubled MoviePass. Notable Mac app releases this week include Panorama X 10.1, Fission 2.4.3, and Farrago 1.2.1.
